POL

I hope the POL Night for the Beyond the Border is the only one we have to do for this semester...We only have like 2-3 weeks after Thanksgiving Break of actual school, so I guess we would do a POL on other projects we did, like the Inca Project, Water Quality Project and other stuff we did....

Mexico Trip Rescheduled

Our Mexico Trip was also rescheduled because of the wildfires, so now we are going November 5-7...So that means even less time to finish our video...Spencer and Anne pushed our deadline for the POL back like a week I think...Still not very much time to finish, maybe like 2 weeks to finish the whole thing.

Beyond the Border

Well, today was our first day back from our vacation, even though some people probably didn't get much time off...We (Julian, Jesse and I) worked on our Vegas, and we got our green dot for the Flash introduction and we wanted to start working on the actual Vegas file. So far we have Jesse's interview on there and the Flash introduction...We also split up the script into what each person is going to say so we could be ready when people are done with recording booth so we can record our voice overs and narration. We also have to film a few sections with Julian at a desk, so we have to do that soon so we could do the video.

So Far...

Well, I haven't blogged in a long while because of the fires (my house isn't in danger) but many relatives houses were and came down to stay with us. I really don't like all the fire stuff....>.<
Now we can't go to Mexico....and Anne told us (like 12-15 students) to eat all the fruit that had been purchased for the trip.

On our Beyond the Border porject, Jesse redid his Flash so it was shorter like Spencer asked and changed the name from 60 Cents...Julian and I finally got Jesse's interview onto a computer FINALLY after like 3-4 weeks of the tape sitting in my backpack...So we have about 2-3 minutes of interview, but we're going to need to cut it into pieces and edit it, so it's more like 2 minutes...with out Flash we have almost half of our film done =D

Water Quality Testing

We did the Water Quality Testing field trip yesterday and the place our group did our testing did look or smell that clean...The water looked kind of murky and smelled like sewage...we were testing relatively close to a pipe so that might have been the problem...I wonder how many places we are going to test at in Mexico...

I'm excited to go down to Mexico and do all the things Anne/Spencer have planned, the people with tents at school had to set them up and surprisingly there were a lot of tents. I'm just wondering how large the campsite is

Beyond The Border

We showed Spencer our new script and name yesterday. He didn't read the script...We just turned it in...We also had to show him our Flash to get it checked off. He didn't really like the part with all the flying around Jesse did, so now we have to change that...

Script

Script is just about done....Jesse thought of a new name for our documentary, Purely Water. Hopefully, Spencer will like this on better than our previous one...We (Julian and I) added a lot of citations and tomorrow we will have to finish the conclusion, even though tomorrow is when it's due, because we can't finish it tonight...We have about 4-5 pages and we still haven't seen Jesse's interview, its been like 3 weeks and we still weren't able to move it from the tape to the computer...We have to get that done also...
